How tall is Zendaya

Zendaya's Height

5ft 8.5in (174 cm)

American actress and singer best known for playing Rocky Blue on tv show Shake It Up and the 2013 series of Dancing With the Stars. She once said her height was "Five Eight" in a teen.com video q&a., but in 2013 began to claim standing in the 5ft 10 range and loved being tall. Her most recent comment even added a fraction and she now says "about 5'10" and 1/2".

No way she's only 5'8 she's a giant she's no less than 5'10.

@niki Large head? What the heck are you smoking? Her head is nowhere even close to being large, looks about 8" long. She's not 5'10", get over it. There is numerous evidence proving that she is most likely a weak 5'9". Lots of people tell me all the time that i look 5'10" rather than 5'9" (5'11" in some cases). Nobody knows what a true 5'9"-5'11" person looks like anymore, since a majority of guys who are 5'6-5'8" claiming those heights and thinking that 5'9"-5'11" people are short af (unless if they're a woman). smh.

@Pk that's a joke

Pk said on 26/Sep/16
Shes from anywhere in the range of 170-173.5cm

Jay said on 23/Sep/16
@James I agree. She's still as tall as the average guy, which is still big, but she should have been at least 6'0.

James said on 21/Sep/16
@James Unless the father is only 5' 7''

James said on 19/Sep/16
If her parents are well over six foot, she actually ended up pretty short. A mother over six foot is usually a guarantee of very tall height.

Height revealer said on 10/Sep/16
Well.. She's not shorter than Heidi though. Heidi looks to have larger heels as well Click Here

Editor Rob said on 10/Sep/16
There were some recent shots of her with Heidi Klum.Click Here
Certainly, I think any idea of 5ft 10 is ludicrous for her.

grizz said on 23/Aug/16
@Thorpe, even without heels, she would still have at least an inch over the current Spider-Man. What were they thinking?

Thorpe said on 19/Aug/16
Some updated picture of Tom Holland and Zendaya.

Allie said on 19/Jul/16
Hi Rob! Do you really think Zendaya's mom is 6'4 like she claims? How about the father? I actually think her father looks shorter than her mother! Any height estimates for them?

Also, I think the tall gene both her parents possesed must have been a fluke or an Ireland Baldwin happened cause despite both her parents being 6 footers plus she barely passes for a 5'8-9 range.

Editor Rob: her parents do look several inches taller, her Mother over 6ft I am sure, although 6ft 4 looks a bit much.

Shawn said on 10/Jul/16
Why don't you believe her claim? Her mother is 6'4"

1997 said on 15/Jun/16
@niki kylie is 5.6, so 5.9 right for zen

niki said on 3/Jun/16
@bruh

plus kylie is around 5'7-5'8 ( hailey is around 5'6-5'7, look at the heel difference)
so zendaya definetly around 5'10

bruh said on 1/Jun/16
No way she's shorter than 5'9'' she absolutely towers over both kylie jenner and hailey baldwin and they're between 5'6''-7''
That's got to be more than 2 inches

niki said on 1/Jun/16
@strong 5ft 9
small head ? her head is huge and makes her look shorter/ smaller
she is 5'10

Strong 5ft 9 said on 30/May/16
What makes her so tall, is because of her small head and her slim figure. That's why most people seem to mistaken her as a sub 6 footer. But either way, i think 174cm is about right.

Leonardo said on 6/May/16
Zendaya Coleman is 173cm

AJ said on 1/May/16
Yes this is much better. Compared to Gigi and Kendall she does look more 5'8" range.

Yo said on 1/May/16
Good downgrade

Yo said on 28/Apr/16
She's shorter. Maybe a strong 5'8

Allie said on 26/Apr/16
Her parents are like 3/4's of a head taller than her. I'm convinced that both her parents being she claims at her mother is 6'4. though maybe 6'2 or something was most likely some fluke or something and the rest of the relatives/grandparents are probably average height. I mean, I haven't seen enough pics of the siblings but she's taller than two of her sisters I think.

Draxler said on 25/Apr/16
5'8 is perfect for Zendaya.
5'8.5 is a little probably

Yo said on 23/Apr/16
No way she's over 2 inches taller than Tika Sumpter... Down to 5'8?

She's at least 5'10...

In boots...

DR said on 7/Jan/16
@184.3cm - Hmm perhaps. Maybe he needs his own page so we can assess further? ;) (Well if he were a bit more famous that is) Zendaya still towers him in heels.

Yo said on 1/Jan/16
She's at least 5'10...

184.3cm (Night) said on 31/Dec/15
That guy Valentin Chmerkovskiy looks 5'9 range. 6 foot? rofl. Look at his proportions, short legs, He isn't a big broad guy either since a young girl looks normal next to him.

Fray said on 30/Dec/15
I think its time for an upgrade.

Yo said on 20/Dec/15
Joe said on 18/Aug/15
Rob what is the difference between zendaya and the blonde headed girl Click Here ?
[Editor Rob: Joe, somewhere in 3-3.5 inches is possible. She looks like she has a bit more footwear though.]

The blond girl is 5'7.5" so...

Yo said on 19/Dec/15
@DR I agree. No way she is below 5'9.5" IMO. Right there she looks over 6' then lol

DR said on 18/Dec/15
Here she is with her former DWTS co-star Valentin Chmerkovskiy, who claims 6'0". Zendaya has always struck me as one who is the height she claims to be, although in this pic it looks like she's downgrading herself.

Star said on 29/Nov/15
She is young though. I know many girls who grew until they were 21. She could have grown.

john said on 21/Nov/15
She looks 5'9

Jay said on 5/Nov/15
She is not 5'7

Sophie said on 4/Nov/15
I think she's more like 5 ft 7 as she looks 3 inches shorter than Taylor in bad blood and all the pics with Taylor

Yo said on 31/Oct/15
What do you think of this, Rob? He claims she's in sneakers Click Here

[Editor Rob: impossible to tell without seeing if the sneakers are those type of ladies elevator high top sneakers.]

Allie said on 18/Oct/15
Surprised she's only 5'8-5'9 given her parents height. They don't look 6'4, Actually, scratch that. They look near it. More so with her mother. I think 6'4 may have been her morning height, she's looks 6'3. She doesn't even come up to their eyebrows.But I believe she was younger so who knows. But they do look 6'0 range obviously. Then again, judging from the pictures, Zendaya ended up being a skinny twig. Both her parents look like they could snap her with a hug tbh.

Sorry if that sounded mean but it's kind of the truth. Her parents look much more fuller and she just looks high fashion model skinny. Maybe both of them were the tall out liners while their siblings were short or average? Cause 5'8 range is by no means short in America for a female.

joe said on 12/Oct/15
Rob what do you think about this, she is in 5.5 inch heels with a one inch platform yet she isn't taller than kimmel. Do you think she might be only 5'8 flat? Click Here

[Editor Rob: the heels might give roughly 3.75 range so she has what, 2.75 inch more...in theory she should be the same, it points to another instance of her being 173-4 range, unless she is dropping height that is hard to tell...I can't believe she is claiming 5ft 10.5 though]

Nancy O'dell is 49, she was 177, but now sh"s not taller then174

Nice updated pic. Should still be upgraded to atleast 5'9.

This picture throws people off, she's grown since this. Please upgrade it to something from this year.

[Editor Rob: I'll embed a getty one as any of the outfits she had in prphotos.com from the last year didn't look flattering.]

oliver said on 1/Oct/15
Looks like 5' 9 .

Matthew190 said on 4/Sep/15
She looks about as listed to me, although I haven't seen that much of her. Her mom is quite tall, a good amount taller than she is.

Jack said on 28/Aug/15
No offense to her, but it really annoys me when tall girls like her lie about their already awesome height and the funny thing is they usually always end up as "being 5'10" tall" (like taylor swift whos actually 5'9" something) because that height usually seen as "glamorous" and "model-ideal"......well guess what? It puts down guys like me who are actually 5'10" because people see her in person and thing 5'8" is 5'10" and therefore think 5'10" is "shortish".
Other then that, I think she's a wonderful person and amazing dancer.

So Tall!

How tall is Kadeem Hardison?

Yo said on 7/Aug/15
Could you update the picture from something this year?

fray said on 6/Aug/15
@Dev, slip-ons with about .50" height. With slip-ons she was over 5'10", without, she would hit 5'10". An assistant had also measured her in stocking feet (I was not there) and stated she was a little under 178

Jay said on 3/Aug/15
She always looks tall on her show, and only wears shoes.

Fray said on 1/Aug/15
@Yoooooo I cast for clients (Runway/Print) as well as a costumer/tailor based in Burbank

@Fray what is your "work"?

Fray said on 30/Jul/15
@Emily - Where did you get your info from? At work we had measured her - she was (don't know if she has grown more since then) a pretty good 5'10" (almost 178 ) and Bella is shorter than 5'8"

Emily said on 29/Jul/15
She is not 5.10, really 5.9 her max

Fiona said on 27/Jul/15
she reminds me a little bit of chanel iman.

fray said on 26/Jul/15
She WAS 5'8", but she was a kid still growing. Worked in wardrobe, and made things tougher as she shot up in height! She is at least 5'10". This needs an upgrade.

Allie said on 24/Jul/15
@Fiona - Omg you're so tall. :p. I'm 5'10 and 1/4.. apparently I'm the ideal female height.. I guess that's why a lot of women on this site have claimed it but are honestly only 5'7-5'9.. as in the case with Zendaya..

Anyways, this is right.. not really a weak 5'9 tbh.. and she's close in height to Lily A.. who isn't 5'7.. but looks to be a strong 5'8 imo..

Fiona said on 15/Jul/15
@LouLou 5.7 to 5.11 ideal female height, its not too, beautiful and leggy.
I am 6.1,5( I am real unfeminine ogre, I hate my height

Yo said on 13/Jul/15
@Celtic Warrior Bella is around 5'5/5'6

LouLou said on 10/Jul/15
Celtic Warrior 2 inches its over 5 cm! Iam 177 or 5.10 but when I'm wearing heels(only 2 inches or 5cm) I really feel like a giant, unfeminine ogre. I am taller than most people my age, even the doctor said so.
My twin sis sthorter then me 6cm over 2 inches, it is very noticeable,
for me bella is 5.7, zendaya 5.9

Mimi said on 10/Jul/15
zendaya ia 5.9 bell is 5.8

Celtic Warrior said on 9/Jul/15
Zendaya is 5'10 and Bella Thorne 5'8. It's really hard to notice the height difference when it's only 2 inches apart

Yo said on 1/Jul/15
If she is 5'8.75, Taylor Swift is around 5'7 lol

Najma said on 1/Jul/15
She is a solid 5'9

Dev said on 30/Jun/15
This needs a serious upgrade. She is 5'10".

Yo said on 29/Jun/15
She's claiming 6'4 with those giant heels. Click Here

Look at her with the 5'6" bella thorne. She is 5'10" for me.

Joe said on 17/Jun/15
Click Here Rob how tall does trevor jackson who is standing next to zendaya look?

[Editor Rob: he could have between 4 and 5 inches over her there.]

@Derp Zendaya was in flats. Shay's had some heel.

Derp said on 15/Jun/15
Shay Mithcell looked taller than Zendaya in a recent photo.

Az said on 2/Jun/15
On that note, most celebrities I work with also have acne, cellulite, facial hair on women, arm pit fat, veins, you name it. Good Lighting and confidence take you to the next level. And great PR! Haha

Az said on 2/Jun/15
She is 5'8". Probably more 5'7.5" but sure, 5'8". That's a great height! But I meet a ton of celebs and it's funny how inflated heights get. It helps their "untouchable" quality from a PR standpoint but I feel it's a very negative impact on young people and for that reason I cannot support the lies. They are white lies in a sense but not when young people feel they need to be x height and x weight to be beautiful. A lot of these celebs are truly beautiful and way way shorter than they say. Teenagers and people struggling with security deserve to know how they "measure up" and that all shapes and sizes actually can be star-worthy beautiful oxx

Jay said on 1/Jun/15
Not buying that height Ax.

Yo said on 30/May/15
No, Ax is saying she's shorter than 5'8.

Natasha said on 28/May/15
ax@ that's mean she's over 5.8?

Ax said on 23/May/15
Nope. I met her in February and she is maybe 5'7" not more. My job is casting / models and production work for London fashion week NY fashion week etcetera. I see tall girls all the time and all the biggest models in the industry for near a decade. I know who is over 5'8". And I really know who is 5'10". Sorry Zendaya. Pretty girl though.

Natasha said on 21/May/15
5.9 right for her.

Bishop said on 19/May/15
@Jay
I hope you know that I wasn't using that pic as comparison to Taylor. I was using it as comparing it to Lily and Martha. Lily is 5'8" and Martha is 5'10". Zendaya is the same height as Lily and shorter than Martha, so all the 5'10" claims are completely destroyed. Sorry about that :P

Yo said on 19/May/15
I'm leaning towards saying she's 5'9.

Jay said on 19/May/15
Bishop, I hope you don't uses that pic as proof. Taylor was clearly wearing super high heels, being covered by her pants. Martha Hunt is truly 5'10, yet somehow smaller then Taylor?

CS said on 17/May/15
I'm actually shocked that she is as tall as she is eve listed. She looks so petite to me

Yo said on 17/May/15
Click Here Zendaya, Lily Aldridge, Taylor Swift, Martha Hunt, and Hailee Steinfeld. Look through all the pictures for certain angles. Based off these I'd say Zendaya is around 5'8-5'8.5

Bishop said on 17/May/15
Rob, I think she's going to need a downgrade:

Cooldude said on 10/May/15
Jay I am talking about when you replied to my comment from, June of 2013. You need to take reading classes. Stop annoying me no one was talking to you in the first place. I WAS TELLING EVERYONE STOP TALKING ABOUT THEIR HEIGHT BECAUSE THIS IS ABOUT ZENDAYAS HEIGHT. STOP BEING SO OBSESSED ITH OTHER BOYS.

Cooldude said on 9/May/15
I first commented in June 2013 so yo annoying behind better shut up. I wa telling people no one cares about yall height this is about zendaya. So be quiet jay. You act like somebody cares about you.

Adna said on 9/May/15
@coolkid Peyton list is 5'6 btw

kate said on 7/May/15
Oh my god Zendaya is only 5ft 10 I thought she was 6ft tall.

Jay said on 7/May/15
Hey Cooldude, if you knew how to read, I commented to same month you did in November 2014. Just because you're late, doesn't mean I don't have a life.

Cooldude said on 5/May/15
Hey Jay why don't you shut up and get a life instead of replying to my comment from June of 2013.

Skye said on 29/Apr/15
Rob, do you think Zendaya could've grown at least an inch now? I know that some girls just stop growing at about 14-16, but typically, I know some that grow past that may grow an extra inch.

Jay said on 29/Apr/15
Bella is not 5'5 Yo.

louise2002 said on 28/Apr/15
@Bishop my mom is 6.1 I am only 5.6&13yo...my sis at age of 13 was 5.11.5 naw 22yo she is 6.0!!
5.9 for Zendaya...

Bishop said on 27/Apr/15
@nebule
No, he isn't. He's listed here at 5'7" and there is evidence to prove that is pretty much the top-end of the range for him.

@Skye
Haven't seen enough pictures of her with her mom to compare so don't know how tall she really is. Her dad looks maybe 6'1-2" range.

Skye said on 25/Apr/15
@Bishop - I see. I just googled pics of her parents, and they both look noticeably taller than her.. Imo, I find it odd that she only ends up being roughly 175cm while her parents look to be near the 6ft+ range (not so sure if I believe that her mom is exactly 6'4 though),

Dev said on 24/Apr/15
Zendaya is a solid 5'10"

nebule said on 24/Apr/15
@Bishop Nick's 5'9"

Yo said on 22/Apr/15
Bella Thorne is only around 5'5 maybe 5'5 1/2... Zendaya is around 5'8-5'9

Bishop said on 20/Apr/15

Yes, it was her mom.

Skye said on 18/Apr/15
Didn't she proclaim that one of her parents was 6'4?

Helga said on 15/Apr/15
Ciara is 176cm.
Zendaya 174-175 not taller then that
@ Kendall is only 4 cm taller then Cara, so 175 MAX

Jay said on 8/Apr/15
Kendall is 5'10. Don't see her any lower then that.

Bishop said on 7/Apr/15
@Jay
Here are Ciara's heels:Click HereClick Here
They're the same as Zendaya's. Zendaya appears shorter because she's not standing straight, but this shows she's clearly not 5'10" like she or some here claim.

@Danielle
She's a lot taller than Kendall because she's closer to the camera and wearing much higher heels than her. And I don't think Kendall is as tall as she is listed here.

[Editor Rob: she's going to be 5.5 inches taller with beasts like those]

Jay said on 14/Aug/14
Bella is around 5'7 now.

Genevieve said on 11/Aug/14
Seems like a 2in or 2.5in difference between Bella and Zendaya.

No she's definitely 5'10"

Zswagger said on 3/Nov/13
Ok to all of yall, zendaya is about 5'11 ! I met her the other day and i'm 5'10 1.78 cm and she was about an inch taller than me! She was wearing flats and i was wearing griffeys! So it clearly seems that she's either 1.79 or 1.80 cm

Stephanie said on 27/Oct/13

Ok I met her and she towered over me in flats. I'm 5'6" and i was looking way up at her. Id say shes a weak 5'11"

Comets said on 23/Jul/13
she towers over them because they are very short? when u are 5'8 and surrounded by 5'2's..you will look like a giant

Jay said on 17/Jul/13
Why hasn't her height changed on here yet? She's clearly 5'10 now. Watch an episode of her show, as she towers over most of them, or DWTS.

andi said on 15/Jul/13
never saw her as 5'10 let alone 5'11. 5'8 seems like a good height

Cool dude said on 11/Jun/13
they got her height right but she really isnt tall she is not 5'11 i dont mean to be rude sorry her mom isnt 6'4 i seen the video where she said it but we dont have proof because Zendaya is the same height as briget mendler who is 5'6

Jay said on 3/May/13
Yep, girls not lying about her height. She's grown since last year.

mm said on 17/Apr/13
On DWTS last night, she was as tall as Maks with her heels on. Maks is 6'2". She was taller than Val in her heels who is 6". So, 5'11" seems like she's telling the truth.

Editor Rob said on 3/Apr/13
She used a 'sixfooter' has tag last month, and she probably is Six foot in heels.

Jay said on 2/Apr/13
5'10

She's taller then Khloe Kardashian who is listed as 5'9 so UPGRADE!

Emily said on 29/Mar/13
She was on Jimmy Kimmel and said she was 5´10 Lol. She was wearing like 4 inch heels and still was only Jimmy´s height. 5´8 seems right.

Sel said on 17/Mar/13
Im so jealous of her because she's tall! Im turning 18 in a few months and im only 5'1 and what made it worse my dr said i stopped growing. Anyway my sister who's turning 20 is 5'5, my 12 year old brother is 5'7 and my mom is 5'9. I would kill to be 5'5 right now. If not 5'5 by 5'4. But I love zendaya

Ali said on 17/Feb/13
She has grown and is 5'11 now

Kas said on 7/Feb/13
She is 5ft11! She said it on ryan seacrest

theblacklab said on 3/Dec/12
She's past 16 now, and she's already tall. My guess is that she'll get to 5'9". I estimate an inch of growth for girls past 16. 2-3 for boys. Of course, that's not always the case. She could grow more or less. However, she's already tall, so I doubt she grow more than an inch. I doubt she'll grow less either. 5'9" seems perfectly plausable for her as I read somewhere her mother was extremely tall. Who knows, she might even get to 5'10", but the chances are slim.

Illena said on 19/Nov/12
Just because she say's she's 5'11 doesn't mean she is. I can say I'm 5'11 but I'm not. She's probably around 5'8 no taller, and if she does grow any more I doubt it will be more than an inch. Plus, didn't she claim 5'7 like a year and a half ago? 14-16 year old girl don't grow 4 inches in a year, so 5'11/5'10 is impossible.

watcher said on 14/Nov/12
in a interview recently with Ryan Seacress he asked them how tall they were and Thorne said 5'5" and Zendaya said she was 5'10' then whispered
5'11"

Lena said on 5/Nov/12
It's impossible she's 5'10. She doesn't have the proportions of a 5'10 person. Also, I saw her and she was way shorter than me, and I'm 5'9 at best. So I doubt she's any taller than 5'7.

Opps said on 6/Oct/12
Allie she older than Bella so she taller than her a little bit

Allie said on 23/Aug/12
why is she listed as 5'10" on a website? there is no way she's 5'10", she looks the same height in comparison to Bella Thorne who is 5'3" and I'm sure Zendaya is still 5'8"

bleh said on 14/Aug/12
they always call her "that tall girl" on the show, but her and bella still seem so short... i mean i thought bella was wat? 5'1, but hey i dont really care anymore. disney channel is boring now. i wish they would bring in good shows from early 2000
